Behind the scenes: vRLCM upgrade 8.1 to 8.2

I always had a passion for reading logs and understanding what really happens in the background when a user clicks or performs an action through UI.

Yesterday, I did a blog about vRSLCM upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2 through UI, let me decipher what happens in the background when you upgrade.


The only log you would need to check is

/var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log
/var/log/bootstrap/preupdate.log
/var/log/bootstrap/postupdate.log


Just before you start an upgrade you would check if the upgrade is actually available or not.



2020-10-08 01:30:53.274 INFO  [http-nio-8080-exec-8] c.v.v.l.u.ShellExecutor -  -- Executing shell command: /opt/vmware/bin/vamicli update --check

..
Available Updates - 
   8.2.0.23 Build 16982087].

Once you have verified that the upgrade is available and you trigger an upgrade there is a Postgres backup taken in the background



2020-10-08 01:34:16.418 INFO  [http-nio-8080-exec-1] c.v.v.l.u.ShellExecutor -  -- Executing shell command: /etc/vlcm/upgrade-va

There will be a check which would be performed to see if an upgrade is already running

At this point, we start downloading packages needed for upgrade
